As I continue to celebrate Joe Cocker’s birthday, here is doing my favorite Jimmy Cliff tune, “Many Rivers to Cross.”

I love birthday boy Joe Cocker! As far as I’m concerned he has one of the most powerful and grooviest voices ever.

Here’s Joe’s version of Dave Mason’s phantabulous tune, “Feelin’ Alright,”  Here he is performing it long ago on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour.

As we celebrate the great Pete Townshend’s birthday, here he is performing a killer version of “Slit Skirts.”

I’ve been saving this video for some reason and, since I can’t remember what that reason is, here’s a groovy version of birthday boy Peter Townshend playing “Let My Love Open the Door.”

Stevie Wonder performing “Superstition” on Sesame Street. How cool is that?

I thought this would be a fun way for us to celebrate Stevie’s birthday.

On the anniversary of his birth, here’s Steve Winwood performing the Traffic classic, “Dear Mr. Fantasy.”

Stevie did a phenomenal version of this one last night in Milwaukee as the first encore.

I couldn’t let Eric’s Burdon’s birthday slide by without something from The Animals, so here they are doing “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.”

On Eric’s 71st birthday, here he is back in the day performing “Spill the Wine” with the groovy funk rock band War.

“People keep asking why I always do that Joe Cocker song, and I have to remind them I wrote it.”~Dave Mason

That’s what Dave said before launching into his groovy set-closer, “Feelin’ Alright,” a couple summers ago in Milwaukee.

In celebration of the grate Dave Mason’s birthday, here he is at Traffic’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame taking the lead on “Feelin’ Alright.”

Check out the phenomenal cast of characters on stage with them.
